Patent number: 11941090Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices that support determining whether media data has been altered are described. Captured media data may be segmented into one or more subsets, and cryptographic representations (e.g., hashes) based on the subsets may be written to an immutable ledger, possibly along with metadata and other related data. A block of a blockchain may be created for each entry in the immutable ledger. A set of media data may be validated, if a corresponding immutable ledger exists, based on segmenting the set of media data into one or more subsets in accordance with the segmenting upon capture, creating candidate cryptographic representations (e.g., hashes) based on the subsets, and comparing the candidate cryptographic representations with contents of the corresponding immutable ledger.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: SWEAR Inc.Inventors: Jason Lealand Crawforth, Michael Robert Blood

Publication number: 20070260625Abstract: Report views offer a user the ability to specify ancillary data views and also view that data in a scorecard viewing experience. A report view definition may be implemented as a metadata-based mapping of logical reports to physical reports for scorecards and KPIs. Reports are categorized based on their presentation size and/or type. Categorized report attributes included in the report view metadata are managed by a configuration UI. The report view metadata further includes schema, ordering capabilities, and mapping UI such as re-use of report views in multiple areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2006Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ian Tien, Robert Blood, Corey Hulen, Chen-I Lim

Patent number: 5319518Abstract: A double layer capacitor comprising a conductive solid in contact with a gas, preferably an inert gas, to form a double layer capacitor of unusually high specific energy density (energy to weight ratio). The device may be sized for use with microelectronics or scaled up for use in electrical utility storage and may be controlled to provide variable conductance as an active element.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1992Date of Patent: June 7, 1994Assignee: Jonathan ColeInventor: Robert A.
